It's Queen Elizabeth II's 91st birthday — here are all the world leaders she has outlasted

On Friday, April 21, the venerable British monarch celebrated her
"real" birthday - because unlike ordinary Brits, she has two
birthdays, with
her "official" one in June.

On the throne since 6 February, 1952, she has reigned for more
than 65 years. She's the longest-serving British monarch
ever, breaking the record set by Queen Victoria, her
great-great grandmother, in 2015.

In her life she has seen the rise and fall of innumerable world
leaders, great and terrible.

Queen Elizabeth II ascended the throne in the 1950s, a year
before the death of Stalin. She has lived through the Second
World War, and met with Winston Churchill numerous times. She has
also ruled through the US presidencies of Harry Truman, Richard
Nixon, John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, and more.

political figureheads in the graphic below.
